In the winter of the twenty-third year of Yong'an, hidden in the pile of cold firewood in the west courtyard of the Marquis of Jing'an was a flower of evil tempered in desperate circumstances. Bai Lingxi witnessed the tragic death of her biological mother when she was six years old, and her biological father faked the accident. During the three years she lived under the care of others, she was humiliated by her adoptive father Li Jingye, a gambler, and her stepmother Liu. When Ms. Liu's vicious plot pressed closer, she finally took off the mask of meekness, counterattacked with cunning, and dragged her weak stepbrother Yin Junshu into the abyss of conspiracy.
In the deep residence of the Hou Mansion, under the red walls, there are undercurrents surging, and the chess game of power has already been unfolded. She uses her wisdom as a blade to clear away the obstacles that stand in her way; she uses her heart as a chess piece to win over the mysterious guard and bind her stepbrother.

There is intrigue hidden in the house fight, and calculation beneath the warmth. She works step by step, vowing to climb to the top of power by stepping on the sins of her enemies, and let all those who despise her and hurt her kneel at her feet and repent.
This is a feast of revenge in which evil is used to fight evil, and it is also a struggle for power in the darkness. When a ruthless and evil woman meets a loyal secret guard and a troubled stepbrother, who is her weakness and who will be the last stepping stone on her way to the top? Within the red walls, blood debts will be paid, and glory will finally come.
